Ashton Kutcher reminded of testimony in Los Altos woman’s murder by Danny Masterson accuser

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:58:26 GMT

The fall-out continues over Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis’ defense of Danny Masterson, along with outrage the couple sparked with a video they posted in which they tried to apologize for writing glowing character letters ahead of their friend’s sentencing last week to 30 years to life after being convicted of two of three counts of rape.The verdict of the internet is that Kutcher and Kunis failed to show genuine remorse in their allegedly “lawyered” apology video, or authentic concern about “re-traumatizing” Masterson’s victims by calling him their “role model” and by appearing to minimize one key aspect of the women’s testimony — that their friend drugged them before attacking them.It was “incredibly insulting and hurtful,” one of Masterson’s victims said to a journalist. Another accuser, Chrissie Carnell Bixler, went further, going on the offensive and telling Kutcher on Instagram Story: “You...

UC regents meeting to include discussion of Cal’s move into the ACC (which could be costly for UCLA)

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:58:26 GMT

The University of California regents will discuss Cal’s move into the Atlantic Coast Conference next week on UCLA’s campus. It’s an appropriate location given that the governing board is expected to consider whether to impose a subsidy on the Bruins — the so-called Berkeley tax, or Cal-imony.The agenda for the Sept. 21 meeting describes the session in this manner: “Discussion: UC Berkeley Atlantic Coast Conference Membership.”Because the session is closed to the public, the regents won’t vote on whether to eventually force UCLA to turn a portion of its Big Ten jackpot into an annual “contribution” to Cal’s athletic department.But sources believe it will be discussed in detail.The controversial issue first surfaced last summer, after UCLA announced it would enter the Big Ten in 2024 (along with USC) and leave its sister campus behind.Expecting the depleted Pac-12 to lose significant media revenue without the Los Angeles mark...

Missouri clinic halts transgender care for minors in wake of new state law

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:58:26 GMT

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri clinic will stop prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors for the purpose of gender transition, citing a new state law that the clinic says “creates unsustainable liability” for health care workers.A statement released Monday by the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital said patients currently receiving care will be referred to other providers. The center will continue to provide education and mental health support for minors, as well as medical care for patients over the age of 18.“We are disheartened to have to take this step,” the statement read. “However, Missouri’s newly enacted law regarding transgender care has created a new legal claim for patients who received these medications as minors. This legal claim creates unsustainable liability for health-care professionals and makes it untenable for us to continue to provide comprehensive transgender care for minor patients without subjectin...

Biden propone más protecciones para los migrantes beneficiarios de la visa H-2A

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:58:26 GMT

Los trabajadores agrícolas inmigrantes recibirían una serie de nuevas protecciones en virtud de una propuesta del gobierno de Joe Biden con la que se busca aumentar los requisitos de seguridad en las granjas y aumentar la transparencia sobre cómo estos trabajadores son traídos al país para combatir la trata de personas.La propuesta reformaría el programa de visas H-2A, bajo el cual cientos de miles de inmigrantes, en su mayoría de México, aceptan trabajos estacionales en la industria agrícola estadounidense. El número de personas admitidas en el programa se ha disparado en los últimos años, ya que la rápida contratación después de la pandemia y la baja tasa de desempleo han dejado a muchos agricultores luchando por encontrar trabajadores locales.El año pasado, alrededor de 370,000 personas fueron admitidas con visas H-2A, el doble que en 2016 y cinco veces más que en 2005, dijeron funcionarios del Departamento de Trabajo. Sin embargo, a medida que la popularidad del programa ha crec...
